Neurodegenerative Diseases is a bimonthly, multidisciplinary journal for the publication of advances in the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinsons disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington disease and related neurological and psychiatric disorders. Neurodegenerative Diseases publishes results from basic and clinical scientific research programs designed to better understand the normal functions of genes and proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases, to characterize their role in pathogenic disease mechanisms, to model their functions in animals and to explore their roles in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. It is our firm belief that successful strategies for novel treatments of neurodegenerative diseases will emerge from the intelligent integration of basic neurobiology with clinical sciences. Therefore, Neurodegenerative Diseases will accept high-quality papers from a broad spectrum of scientific research areas ranging from molecular and cell biology to neuroscience, pharmacology, genetics and the clinical sciences.
